E. T. SUAREZ of Manila Bulletin reported that Election inspectors is being organized by comelec and they need to beat Feb 28 as their deadline. They are searching of about 310,000 boards of election inspectors.

A teacher, whether he or she comes from a public or private school, is disqualified to serve as chairman or member of the BEI if he or she is related within the fourth civil degree of consanguinity or affinity to any member of the same BEI, or to any candidate to be voted for in the polling place or his spouse.

“We have only five days left to constitute the BEIs,” Comelec officials said. “Since there are not enough qualified public school teachers, we may appoint private school teachers, civil service employees, or citizens of known probity and competence, who are registered voters of the city or municipality as BEI members.”

“The BEI shall act through its chairman and shall decide, without delay, by majority votes all questions which may arise in the performance of its duties, they added. “

Well, I can only say good luck to the teachers that will be chosen to be Election Inspectors. And then again expect on the story that there are lot’s of teachers not being paid on the job that they have tendered during election period. I do hope that comelec will be on time for payment of this teachers.
